Probably condensation. Do you use it a lot, and is it cold outside where you live? The warm air in the vent hitting the cold pipe in the attic could lead to condensation. If it is a small residential range hood you can probably insulate the pipe to reduce this. If it is a larger hood, there may be clearance requirements to its vent. Check with the manufacturer of the hood to see if you can insulate the vent pipe.
